SaORTAGE OF $50, 900
Discovered fn she Accounts OF Al
exaDder stanton.

New YORK, April AT the Of
fee of George X. Sistare Il Son, the
Broad street brokers, it is said the
firm has been notified that their De-
troit agent, Alexander nj. Stanton,
had left for parts unknown on Mon
day last. An accountant has been
sent to Detroit and is now examin-
ing the books of Mr.. Stanton. From
all indications it seems that there is
a shortage of $4,000. The firm say
that it is singular that the loss is SO
small, considering Stanton's oppor-
tunities. The defalcation seems to
be in such shape that Robert l..
Stanton, Detroit millionaire, aud
brother of the defaulter, is bound
for nearly the entire amount. Alex
ander Stanton and his family held
high position in Detroit society, and
his wife is said to be completely
Frustrated by her husbands act.
The agent of Sistare u Son has been
unable to obtain an interview with
her.
DETROIT, Mich, April 1.-The
first notice Of anything wrong
in connection with A. NJ. Stanton
and Georae X. Sistare X Sons was in
the morning papers yesterday, being
in the shape of an advertisement
stating that Mr.. Stanton was no lon
ger connected with the company.
This advertisement resulted in an in
vestigatioD, the outcome of which
was sent in these dispatches last
night. Mr.. Stanton left here early in
the week, and announcing his inten-
ton of going to New York. His
friends insist that he is all right.
The best legal opinion is that Stan
ton has committed no offense punish
able under the law. Being partner
in the firm, and owning an undivided
interest in the firm, he could not
steal or embezzle from himself, and,
in the eyes Of the law, he has simply
overdrawn his account. The &C
countaut sent from New York to in
vestigate says the firm, in a business
way, desired Mr.. Stanton to have his
customers prot ct the firm. He did
not comply, ard'an investigation was
decided upon. However, Mr.. 8 an
ton did not await the result of this,
but drew the firms balance Of $1,000
and skipped out. he had been JUS
ing the crcdit'of customers for pri-
vate speculations. The shortage
amounts to $4,000. 1t is not be-
lieyod that Stantone FRO -ner, men
tieoS%ru IN a New York dispatch, is
able to HELM matters any.

A NEW DEPARTURE IN STEAM
SHIPS,

Brooklyn Eagle: The announced
intention of the Inman Company to
build new steamship for their line
which shall be larger than anything
ahoat except the Great Eastern, and
which is to be propelled by twin
screws, marks a new departure in
ocean steamship construction. The
application of twin screws to large
passenger steamships will remove
from the list of possibilities the en-
tire breakdown of the propelling
power of the vessel, either by the
loss of the screw propeller or an ac-
cident to the engines. AS the screws
and all the machinery connected
with them will be double, it hardly
lies within the realms of probability
that both sets should break on one
voyage. In this way passengers will
be secured from delay and inconve-
nience, such as some, even on our
best steamships, have been called
upon to experience. The new ship
will be, in other respects, a striking
departure from the prevailing mod
els. The proportion of her length
to beam will be much less than in
any of the existing ocean racers.
This fact will be best illustrated by

HOTEL DBL HOMIE BURNED
TO TIE GROUND WITH ALL ITS
MAGNIFICENT CONTENTS.
Although 500 Guests Were In the
Hotel at the Time No
Lives Were Lost.

MONTEREY, CAL, April 2.-The
Hotel del Monte was discovered on
FIRE shortly before midnight. Every
thing was done to save it, but with
out success. The magnificent hotel
and contents are total wreck. No
lives are lost. There were nearly
300 guests in the hotel, mostly East
ern people. The fire was discovered
quick enough to give all an opportu-
nifty to escape. Most of the guests
lost all Of their trunks and clothing.
Those who were not overcome by
fright saved jewelry and money.
There were all huddled together on
the grounds, where they had to shiv-
er all night, many of them having
nothing more than their night
clothes. The heat from the flames
of the burning building kept them
warm for q time, but as the flames
died out many ladies suffered severe
ly from the cold. All who could,
sought refuge in local hotels, and ar
raDgements have been made by the
railroad company to take them to
San Francisco as early as possible
this morning. The hotel belonged
to the Southern Pacific Railway
Company, and was considered the
handsomest watering place hotel in
America. 1t cost $3.50 900, and was
not insured. Charles +. Croker,
vice president OF the Southern Pa
cific Company, was seen early this
morning and said the hotel would be
rebuilt, as it had proved a very profit
able investment,

OF Ohio, will deliver the commence
ment Grafton at the university in
June. The students of the univer-
sity are making the most elaborate
preparations for the celebration of
the thirtieth anniversary of the Phi
Sigma Society that will be cele-
brated on the both instant. Mr.. Wal
ter Malone, Mississippi's most gifted
poet, is the orator of the
occasion. Those who will have
the pleasure of hearing
him'ca look forward to the Grafton
with pleasant anticipations, since the
speaker is one Of the most eloquent as
well as one of the most original
speakers the university has ever pro-
duced. His writings have given him
a reputation in the literary world
that is simply astonishing for one OF
his age, he not having attained his
majority as yet. The ball and ban
quet will be one of the prin cipal
features of the celebration. The at
tendance from Memphis, Grenada,
Holly Springs and Winona will be
large. Croce's band, of Memphis,
will furnish the music for the occa-
sion. At these balls the visitors are
always admitted free and the stu
dents never spare any efforts to make
their visits enjoyable. SLIP.

EXTRAORDINARY PREMONITION

Rehgio- Philosophical Journal,
The Midland Advertiser, published
at Wednesday,, England, contains a
singular narrative. A girl named
Louisa Benn, living with her mother
in Queen street, Wednesday,, some
time ago expressed desire to go to
America, and her friends ultimately
yielded to her wishes. A suggestion,
however, was made to her to go to
Australia, aud despite her mothers
remoustrances, she decided to go
there. The family were poor, and
great difficulty was experienced in
collecting the necessary funds and in
providing the girl with an outfit.
Her box was forwarded. to London,
and she followed to join the kapun-
da. Then followed the most extraOr-
binary part of the affair. The
mother, who was Frustrated with
grief, began to have strange visions.
Repeatedly she imagined she saw, a
large rock iutting out from the
ocean, and that upon this rock there
was large bird. Then she would
see ship loaded with passen-
gers strike against the rock
and sink. She fancied she
could hear the shouts OF the
sailors and the shrieks of the women
on board, aud frequently both at
night and day the strange hallucina-
tion occupied her mind. The day
before the ship sailed she was in the
kitchen when cry Of "Oh, MotherV

Cleveland Leader: Judge His
ley was engaged yesterday in an
effort to determine the ownership of
a strip of land 165 by $50 feet, located
near the eight mile lock. The rival
claimants are j. Johnston and the
Newberg Fertilizer Company. The
land includes a huge mound in which
repose the remains of eight men.
Mr.. Kerruish, attorney for the terti-
lizer company, states that according
to an old Indian legend the spirits of
the dead rise at midnight and patrol
the road for several hours. II. Q.
White is counsel for Johnston, and in
his early years lived near the disputed
property, He also related ghostly
stories Of the locality, and spoke OF

able to agree on a location for the

seemed to come from the cellar.
Even now the woman afhrms that II
was Louisa who shouted, and that it
was not the result Of an excited and
imaginative brain. Mrs. Benin was
SO alarmed that she at once tele-
graphed for her daughter to come
back. The Girl was at the time on
board ship, and for a moment she
hesitated to obey. The doctor on
board the vessel advised her to stop,
but the schoolmaster urged her to
obey her mother. She decided to
leave the ship and go home, but her
luggage was not given to her, as 1t
could not be got, and everything she
possessed, except what she wore, had
to be left in the ship. Until the
news of the loss of the vessel was
conveyed t. her she regretted she
had not remained on board. Several
of her companions ere included
among the list of the drowned, and
she is thus able to realize the mar
rowness of her escape.

signed to compete for the Americas
Cup in case the size of the Thistle
should place her in the second class.
The Titania's rival will be MIR.

The prize for which they will CON
tend is of novel description. In sr-
ranging for the race Mr.. Rogers re-
marked that he had already a lot of
cups, and intimated that this time he
would like something new to add to
his collection of trophies. How
would a silver pint pot full OF gold
dollars answer for the stalker asked

4 comparative table:

It will be seen from the above that
while the Alaska is ten times as long
as she is wide and the Adriatic and
City of Rome nearly eleven times,
the new steamship of the Inmans
will be only eight times as long as
her width. This last feature Of her
construction will give her much
ampler cabin room than any other
passenger steamship now ahoat, The
Pocahontas, which is to be nearly
fourteen times as long as her width,

but which, it is said, will be com
menced this year at Alexandria, Va.

we are going TO extreme types OF
length and narrowness, fashion we
formerly condemned in the British,
they should be returning to other
forms and making their ships shorter
